## Description

Ekto helps you understand in-person conversations, meetings, lectures, live events with continuous real-time translated captions. 

Tap once to see speech as text in the original language or translated into your language. Works from across the table and  the back of the room. It automatically detects up to 39 languages.

LIVE TRANSLATION FOR LECTURES, MEETINGS & CONVERSATIONS
Ekto is also a full live translator. Follow lectures, meetings, and sermons in a foreign language.
Understanding the speaker in the moment, means getting ahead in class abroad or advancing your career in a non-english conference. 
It can also make your overseas trips or expat life easier before listening skills become fluent.

SUBTITLES FOR LIVE TV & LIVESTREAMS
Catch every word of the news, the game, and your favorite shows. Set your phone near the TV or monitor and read the dialogue as it's spoken.

LIVE CAPTIONS FOR HEARING LOSS
Reliable captions in noisy rooms, group conversations, and at a distance, alongside hearing aids or without them. Large, readable text. Simple enough for less-technical family members to use every day.

BROADCAST CAPTIONS TO A ROOM (LIVE LINK)
With Live Link, a speaker, teacher, or pastor shares a web link and up to 100 people read live captions on their own phones, each in their own language.
